	Milo Burcham
		Milo Garrett Burcham' (May 24, 1903 - October 20, 1944) aviator.
		Burcham sold burglar alarms[?] of his own design to finance flying lessons from the O'Donnell School of Aviation[?] in Long Beach, California, where he became chief instructor.
		Burcham was killed in the flame out take off of a production prototype P-80 Shooting Star, America's first production jet fighter[?].

	Milo Burcham
		Milo used to drive his old Ford to the stables, a mile from his home where he kept horses for himself, his wife Peggy, and two sons, Garry, 14, and Vance, 11.
		Burcham was one of the first human beings to peer over the scientific abyss of compressibilityto enter that area of high speed in the air where odd behavior of supposedly immutable laws of physics confounded aviation's ablest minds.
		Burcham joined Lockheed in 1937 as a ferry pilot and two years later was sent to England in charge of flight testing at the company's Liverpool division.

	P-80 Shooting Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initial opinions of the I-40 powered P-80A were not positive, with Lockheed chief engineeing test pilot Milo Burcham commenting that an aircraft that he very much enjoyed (powered by the Halford engine) had now become a "dog".
		Burcham was killed on 20 October 1944 while flying the third YP-80A produced, 44-83025.
		Burcham's death was the result of a failure to brief him on a newly installed emergency fuel pump backup system, but the investigation of Bong's crash found that he had apparently forgotten to switch on the emergency fuel pump that could have prevented the accident.

	Milo Burcham Leaving, but Elk Counts Go On
		That's because Milo Burcham, the affable, capable, and adventuresome biologist who conducted the annual elk count from Elk Creek to Chamberlain Creek while studying elk and moose in the Garnet Range from 1993 through 2000 has just accepted a position with the Forest Service in Cordova, Alaska.
		And, as much as Milo enjoys skimming the treetops in Bill Stewart's little Citabria every April, I thought it might be a little out of his way to continue doing the elk survey for me. So, I got a first-hand view of the Elk Creek population for the first spring in 8 years.
		Milo analyzed relocations of radioed elk from the Paws Up herd, which he obtained from 1993-1996, and compared them with relocations collected by others from 1977-1983 from the same elk herd (then known as the Lindbergh herd).

	Lockheed 122-62-02 YP-38 Lightning
		One day while preparing one of the planes for testing, Milo Burcham, Lockheed's test pilot, asked Norman if he would like to go along and, of course, he agreed.
		The big excitement came when Burcham prepared to land and discovered the nose gear would not lock down into position, and it would not retract either.
		When the plane stopped sliding, Burcham had the canope open and said "Come on Norm, let's get the hell out of here." Norman though he would never be able to climb out because of being in that cramped position for so long.

		I never met my grandfather Milo, but he was relatively well known prior to WWII for flying and training pilots in the P-38 Lightning.
		He was a test pilot for Lockheed but was killed in a plane crash when my dad was only 14, way back in 1944.

		The first test pilot, Milo Burcham, was killed in a P-80 crash in October 1944, and the famous American high-scoring ace, Major Richard Bong, was also killed in a P-80.

	VINTAGE THUNDERBIRD
		On the second flight of the day, Burcham reached speeds of 500 MPH and made several low passes with spectacular rolling pull-ups over the 140 men who had worked on her.
		Six months earlier, Milo Burcham died when a faulty overspeed governor failed, causing drive shaft overspeed and fuel pump failure, which ultimately resulted in fuel starvation.
		To prevent another reoccurrence of the type that killed Burcham, an electrical backup fuel pump had been installed to support the fuel flow should the primary fail.

	Development of the P-38
		During the early years of production, Lightnings received the reputation of a plane that was tough to handle, especially on take-off if you lost one engine.
		Several Lockheed test pilots, including Tony LeVier, Ben Kelsey and Milo Burcham gave regular demonstrations of one-engine feats to assuage the concerns of the pilots who were going to fly this new and very different aircraft.
		The P-38F was the first one to engage in extensive combat, primarily in North Africa, New Guinea and the Solomons in 1942 (view Solomon's mug).

		Lockheed's design team led by Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson completed the project details in a week, and the first prototype was flown 143 days later.
		On that first flight, pilot Milo Burcham was so pleased with the performance of the aircraft that he presented a display of low-level aerobatics prior to landing.
		Several early P-80s were sent to Europe for a demonstration tour, but World War II ended before the aircraft could be employed in combat.

		Brainchild of Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, the top secret XP-80 (photo) had been designed and built by Lockheed's fledgling "Skunk Works" in just 143 days.
		Test pilot Milo Burcham put on an impressive display that morning, as the aircraft accelerated to a speed of 490 mph and, during official Army Air Force (AAF) acceptance tests flown by Maj. Wally Lein just over a month later, the XP-80 became the first American airplane to exceed 500 mph in level flight.
		Nicknamed "Lulu Belle" by Lockheed personnel, the small airplane was configured with a British-built DeHavilland Halford H-1B centrifugal-flow turbojet which provided 2,460 pounds of static thrust.
